Counties inside Unit 20A
Measured on the AZGFD boundary layer, Unit 20A spans 600 square miles. 100% of that ground is in Yavapai County, and the unit belongs to AZGFD Region III (Kingman).
Yavapai County contains the entire unit.
| County piece | Sq mi | Unit share | County share |
|---|---|---|---|
| Yavapai County | 600.5 | 100% | 7% |
Land in Unit 20A is a mix of BLM, National Forest, private, State Trust Land and Tribal, according to the AZGFD unit layer. An AZGFD tag does not open tribal land in Unit 20A. The Prescott National Forest reaches into Unit 20A. AZGFD marks no military land here.
For Unit 20A the layer mentions Elk, Javelina, Mountain Lion, Mule Deer, Tree Squirrel and Quail, a list kept for the whole unit rather than any one parcel.
Area, region, ownership, species list, forest and military fields from the AZGFD Game Management Unit layer (overlay with Census county lines); unit maps in the 2026-27 Arizona Hunting Regulations; checked November 7, 2026.
Unit 20A unit-level rules
- Archery-only deer here stops when the any antlered deer 55 limit is hit, at sundown the next Wednesday.
- AZGFD sets the 2026 female bear limit at 21 (20A, 20B, 20C); the 2027 list repeats it.
- Zone F covers Unit 20A for lions; its threshold is 38.
- Chronic wasting disease testing is voluntary and free for deer and elk from Unit 20A.
- Unit 20A lies outside the units where wolves may be present.
- Trappers can work Unit 20A from November 1 to February 28 with a trapping license; no foothold, body-gripping or snare traps on public land.
Archery deer limits, bear female limits, lion zones, crane zones, metro units, CWD, Mexican wolf and trapping pages of the Arizona Game and Fish Department booklets; checked November 7, 2026.
Unit 20A season dates, 2026-27
The tables split the 99 season rows for Unit 20A by how you get the tag. Draw rows (15) need a hunt permit-tag; the 7 nonpermit-tag rows can be bought over the counter. Pronghorn and elk rows show the 2026 season; new dates arrive with the January 2027 booklet.
A population management row is not a general season; hunters join the Supplemental Hunter Pool first.
